New Lapua 144gn 6.5mm MaxRange Target OTM Bullet GB582

If I’m not mistaken, this spec is same as Berger 144 Long Range Hybrid Target. So maybe it is technically already available. Nammo Group/Capstone owns both companies. The Bergers shoot just fine out of my 8 twist 260 AI and both my 8 twist and 7.5 twist 6.5 Creedmoors.

It makes me wonder why Lapua bothered making it... I guess we'll see when it comes out. I've shot some great groups with 123 and 139 scenars.

maybe they are changing the nose a little to make them more like a Sierra 142 gr. so that they will do better at very long ranges. Heard guys complain about going subsonic with the Berger's. I don't think Lapua would make them exactly the same.

Interesting comment. I quit the Berger 144 because they couldn't shoot with the 142 Sierra at a mile.

I hope Lapua listens.
